This is my first time writing in my first blog and I did my first relaxation exercise. While I have nothing to compare it to I think it went pretty well. I set the mood by lighting candles and closing all the blinds. Who knew it could be so hard to relax? Trying to get away from the kids, the dog, and the husband proves to be quite the challenge. So once I started the audio it sounds relaxing. It reminds me of the spa minus the heated sheets, oils and massage therapist. I follow the instructions from the mans voice while trying to keep my mind from wandering. With my eyes closed and my body relaxed I imagine my breathe pushing the blood throughout my body. I imagine blood flowing down to my toes and my fingers concentrating on my breath. This reminds me of the book I read "The Chi Revolution" by Bruce Frantzis. How do we forget how to breathe? Anyway, get back to visualizing my blood flowing. I am trying to imagine my warm, heavy hands. Could they be? Eh. I am not sure if I am there yet, but keep trying. I continue to relax and I am feeling pretty relaxed as I continue to visualize my blood flowing. I know I can do better and relize this is my firt time trying so I am not too hard on myself. Maybe next time I will use scented candles and perhaps run some water. What is it about water that is so soothing? I would like to try outside in some fresh air once I find the right spot. I also suggested to my husband that he tries this. He is a bit high strung, that would be an understatement. He is very high strung and this can do him a world of good. It could do us both a world of good.
I hope you all have a wonderful night.
Live the life you imagine.
I really enjoyed reading your blog... full of a lot of first. You are not alone. This is also my first time blogging and it does take some getting use to. I kept saying there was something I had to do... oh yeah, I need to check my blog. Anyway, just thought I'd leave a word or two with you. Nice blog, especially for your first.
